have a successful blog

I’m wondering if I need to make another goal, a sub goal for this one, which is just to keep my blog updated at least once a week for a couple months. Not much likelihood of having a successful blog if I don’t keep it updated. Good thing I’ve got a lot of great ideas after today. Perhaps before setting a goal to keep my blog updated, I need to plan more leisure time. My ideas come from time just ehjoying myself quietly, roaming, taking pictures.

We’ll see if this was a good move, but since I already own shinsato.com and my ISP allows a one-click install of WordPress – when I started seeing good words about this OpenSource blog software, I decided to check it out and converted my blog there. One of the deficiencies of Google’s Blogger site is that it doesn’t have a trackback feature. Using trackback can help get people to come to your blog when you post a note on a popular blog.

I’ve got “Naked Conversations”, it seems to be one of the most important books to ready about blogs, if not the most important. And there are tons of websites about blogging. I recommend going to 100bloggers.com and asking to be invited as one of the blog authors, if you’re really serious about this goal. The best way to learn is to read other blogs and write comments. Bloggers love comments, it means someone is reading their stuff, and they may turn around and read your blog as a result, and return the favor.
